Golden hour: Radio Mom

Author: Vesna Perić

In the show, the guest speaker reveals to us how moms, with her support, create a "womb song" - a personalized song for their baby; how a baby in the womb hears sound; what it looks like and why the birth cry is important; how the baby connects with mom's and dad's voice ; how to provide vocal support to the baby during birth, which for babies is always a traumatic event of leaving the comfortable womb.

About the Golden hour: Radio Mom

The interviewee reveals to us the importance of pause and silence, the so-called "golden hour" - the necessary pause immediately after the birth of the baby, when mom and baby should stay alone and connect. Finally, it reminds us that the baby's first and best radio station is mom's voice. The author's inspiration for research in this direction was the discovery of the Instagram page synchronylab_nana, as well as the eponymous educational site of the interlocutor Milijana Nana Majstorović.
